guys, you are going to laugh at this :P

Anyway, I was replacing my bulb which blew and the bulb snapped off and fell back into the low beam area of my front lamp.

Have a look at the picture. See the thing in red? that's the old bulb.. It's fallen into the enclosure.

Seriously,Does anyone know how to take that broken bulb out of that area?

ta!

Piece of Blu-tac on the end of an opened-out (wire) coathanger fed through the globe fitting hole.

You are a genius!! thank you !! I will try tonight when i get home from work. I tried using a straw but it can't bend..

thought abt blue tack but blue tack only works IF u were to hold 2 pieces together-then it will stick . Else it does not... anymore ideas??

You are a genius!! thank you !!

Stop, you're embarrassing me :)

If Blu-tac doesn't work, something like chewing gum, or maybe dollop of fresh (un-cured) silastic on the wire.

    • Here is as close as we got to a direct comparison(3 vs 4inch exhaust), a tickle more boost, which I am sure was in part due to the exhaust.  Made 790 on more boost.   
    • Next minute, carbon fibre boot 😂 
    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
